Label TextIn this story the young Queen Bitterblue becomes discouraged and questions if she has the strength to rule her kingdom. She encounters a statue that was carved in her likeness, shown here. The sculptor depicted Bitterblue’s arm turning into a stone tower with archers defending it. Bitterblue realizes that while many of us question our own abilities, others can often see the inner strength we possess.
